told you about the evolution of zoning changes in many cities. The evolution of zoning changes in each city is very complicated because our country has a very long history. With 5,000 years of historical and cultural inheritance, our country has experienced many changes. During different regimes, the naming of places was different, and the division of regions was also different. Today I will tell you about the evolution of zoning changes in Zhenjiang City, Jiangsu Province, and see how Zhenjiang City gradually formed the current zoning pattern. It is not easy to find historical materials. I hope you can like and support it.
First, let’s briefly talk about the development of Jiangsu Province. The reason why Jiangsu Province is called Jiangsu is that during the Qing Dynasty, it was named after the first characters of the two prefectures of Jiangning and Suzhou. Jiangsu is an important birthplace of ancient Chinese civilization. At the same time, Jiangsu's representative Huaiyang culture and Chu-Han culture are important cultural components of our country. Currently, Jiangsu has a total of 13 prefecture-level cities. These 13 prefecture-level cities are all among the top 100 cities in my country and are also famous historical and cultural cities in my country.
According to economic census data, Jiangsu's regional GDP in 2021 will be about 11,000 billion yuan, an increase of 8.6% compared to 2020. Despite the impact of the epidemic, Jiangsu Province's economic growth is still very fast.
Zhenjiang is a prefecture-level city under the jurisdiction of Jiangsu Province. In ancient times, Zhenjiang was known as Jingkou Zhenjiang, which was also one of the cities in the central area of the Yangtze River Delta. Geographically, it belonged to my country's Huazhou The eastern region is located in the southwest of Jiangsu Province in terms of transportation. Zhenjiang currently has three districts and hosts three county-level cities. The current total area of Zhenjiang is 3,840 square kilometers. According to census data, Zhenjiang’s permanent population is now 3.2104 million.
Zhenjiang has a very long history. There was already a county seat in Zhenjiang during the Spring and Autumn Period. During the Republic of China, Zhenjiang also served as the society of Jiangsu Province. After development in recent years, Zhenjiang is the Yangtze River and Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal. The only hub where meets, Zhenjiang Port is a multi-billion-ton port that can lead to the sea. Zhenjiang's regional GDP will reach more than 470 billion yuan in 2021. Overall, Zhenjiang's economic development is very optimistic today.
So what kind of zoning changes has Zhenjiang experienced in history, and how has it gradually formed the current zoning pattern?
In the pre-Qin period, Zhenjiang first belonged to the Wu Kingdom , and later the Yue Kingdom annexed the Wu Kingdom. Zhenjiang belonged to the Wu Kingdom, and then the Chu Kingdom annexed the Yue Kingdom. In the late Warring States period, the county system was adopted after the Qin Dynasty unified the world. At that time, Zhenjiang began to be included in the administrative divisions of the unified dynasty. During the Qin Dynasty, Zhenjiang already had three counties, namely Dantu County, Qu'a County, and Jiangcheng County. At that time, part of Zhenjiang belonged to Huiji County, and part of it belonged to Zhang County.
During the Western Han Dynasty, the county system continued to be adopted. On the basis of the county system, the parallel system of counties and counties was also adopted. Zhenjiang already had 4 counties, namely Dantu County, Qu'a County, Jurong County, and Jiangcheng County. Part of the Zhenjiang territory was under the jurisdiction of Danyang County, and part of it was under the jurisdiction of Kuaiji County.
During the Western Jin Dynasty, there were three counties in Zhenjiang at that time. These three counties belonged to Danyang County and Piling County. During the Sui Dynasty, our country once again ushered in the unification of . At that time, the three counties in Zhenjiang were called Jurong County, Qu'a County, and Yanling County. Zhenjiang was under the jurisdiction of Jiangdong County. The three-level administrative system of Daozhou and counties was adopted during the Tang Dynasty. At that time, there were 4 counties in Zhenjiang, and the Zhenjiang territory was under the jurisdiction of Runzhou.
During the Northern Song Dynasty, part of Zhenjiang belonged to Runzhou and part to Jiangning Prefecture. However, the division of Zhenjiang did not change much.
During the period of the Yuan Dynasty, the provincial system was adopted, which was also the first of its kind in later generations. Below the provinces were states and roads. At that time, Runzhou was changed to Zhenjiang Road, and the territory of Zhenjiang was within the jurisdiction of Zhenjiang Road.
During the Ming Dynasty , the provincial system was continued and the previous provincial boundaries were refined. The road was promoted to Fu, and Zhenjiang Road was changed to Zhenjiang Fu . During the Qing Dynasty, the system of the Ming Dynasty was still followed, and no major zoning changes occurred.
After the Revolution of 1911, Zhenjiang at that time was under the jurisdiction of Jinling Road. The road system was abolished in the 17th year of the Republic of China. Zhenjiang was renamed Zhenjiang County at that time. During the Anti-Japanese War, Zhenjiang was occupied by the Japanese. Zhenjiang was liberated on April 23, 1949. In the early days of liberation, my country adopted the administrative agency system. At that time, Zhenjiang belonged to the Southern Jiangsu Administrative Office.
In 1953, the Zhenjiang Special Office was changed to Zhenjiang District. In 1970, the Zhenjiang Special District was renamed Zhenjiang District. In 1983, Zhenjiang City was officially transformed into a prefecture-level city, under the direct jurisdiction of the province. So far, Zhenjiang's zoning changes have been completed.
Now that the article has come to this point, let me briefly tell you what the city of Zhenjiang is like.
Zhenjiang From the perspective of Jiangsu as a whole, Zhenjiang's development is not very good. When it comes to Zhenjiang, many people don't even know which province Zhenjiang is from. In terms of cultural heritage, Zhenjiang has surpassed Nanjing. Zhenjiang used to be very prosperous. After all, he once visited the provincial capital of Jiangsu.
If you have time, you can visit Zhenjiang. Although it is not as prosperous as Nanjing, life in Zhenjiang is very slow. The biggest impression is that it has a long history, and Zhenjiang is very low-key and very suitable for retirement.
At the same time, because Zhenjiang is located at the throat, the transportation in Zhenjiang is very convenient. From Zhenjiang, you can go to various places such as Jiangsu and Shanghai. I believe that Zhenjiang will definitely become the most popular place in Jiangsu Province in the near future. Because there will definitely be a tourism boom after the epidemic is over, many people will choose to visit Zhenjiang.
has just told you about the evolution of zoning changes in Zhenjiang. In subsequent articles, I will introduce to you the evolution of zoning changes in other cities. I hope you like it. Thank you for your support. Goodbye!
